Did first weigh in of the year, not done since 13/12. All have gained a bit except Astro. He has dropped from 1033 to 942 grams. Not unexpected as over the last week they had some oats and herbs as a treat. Astro ended up being a bit soft in the poo department and looked a bit miserable. You could feel the weight loss but he was still eating. Over the last two days he has brightened up and is munching well (despite no bottom incisors) and you can feel he has gained some weight. Will see how he is next week. Luna on the other hand has gone from 375 gms to 505 gms and is now 11 weeks old.
 
Wow look at little Luna! Poor Astro, he is good hands Steve you know what you are doing and your piggies, keep us updated on your Dude. Sending him some recovery vibes x

Well he had a treat of readi grass yesterday which he enjoyed. He even sat over it so the others couldn't get any.
 
:) Good technique that! So full of character isn't he! Hopefully the fibre will get his poo's back to normal. Had he ate anything different?
 
Weekly weigh in today, Astro is 956 gms so nicely stable (although I would like him heavier but he is about 5 years old now) and he is munching well (as well as he can with no bottom incisors), Twinkle is 1095 gms, Nova is 1207 gms so still gaining a little each week, she is 1 year old on 18th Feb, and little Luna is now 536 gms gaining a steady 30 gms a week.
